If you drive along Duffy Road just outside Lancaster, you can see the gently rolling hills, farm fields and country houses, but you also can spot chairs, tires, mattresses, broken fence posts and even the shell of a boat thrown out along the road.

"I moved out on Duffy Road in the early 1990s and there have been people throwing their trash out along the road ever since I moved here," Larry Shinn said. "It wasn't too long ago there was a hot tub dumped out there. Now there is a boat in the same location. In a ditch just up from it (the boat) there is a mattress and a tire that's been dumped out on the road."
